Re: Canonicalizer bug ?

[Berin Lautenbach]

Stephen,

When you say "non-namespaced" does that mean you have added via a DOM 
level 1 call, or simply that the XML looks something like :

<myns:elt1 attributewithoutns="a test"/>

The latter should work.  I haven't tried it myself, but my understanding 
is the former is likely to fail (use L2 calls instead, with a null NS - 
e.g. setAttributeNS).

Cheers,
        Berin

I'm getting the following exception when I call
XMLUtils.outputDOMc14nWithComments(doc, f) and the document contains an
element with a non-namespaced attribute.  (The element is namespaced.)   If
I change the attribute so that it is namespaced, it works.  Is this a known
bug?
Thanks
Steve
